“I recognized that nothing is set in stone, and that I always have a choice. I became aware of my own role in my happiness and quit my job as a teacher. ”

I came into contact with Dynamisch Bureau through my previous employer. I was very unhappy at work as a primary school teacher and it had a big impact on my personal life. To be honest, I did not really like my life any longer.

During the process with Dynamisch Bureau I gained insight into my talents and possible positions in which those talents would optimally be utilized. In addition, the conversations with my coach made me realize that nothing was set in stone, and that I always have a choice.

I became aware of my own role in my happiness at work and in life. I learned to feel what suits me and to choose it. In the end I resigned, even though I forfeited all my rights.

Both through networking and applying for a job, we managed to get me back to work in time. I now work part-time as a salaried office worker and as an independent website builder. I feel more free, happier and balanced. I can now enjoy the moments when I don’t have to work, although it takes time to get used to it and to learn to ‘get off the treadmill’.

My advice to others? If your work doesn’t feel right, stop as soon as possible! Don’t muddle through, wasting precious years. Live your dreams and do what feels right. Use your own unique talents as much as possible to make both the world and yourself richer.
